Hi , we have 2 Screws by our damper.
One is the SRS (Spring Rate Screw) which you can change the spring rate setting.
The second screw beside is the RHS (Ride High Screw)! It is the screw which look more out....
Turn in the RHS to increase spring preload (car go higher)
Turn out the RHS to decrease spring preload (car go lower)
Hope this help you!
P.S. Here a screenshot from the manual
Best Regards
Max

so im probably not the first one to comment on this, but Oleg, what are your thoughts on ball cups with holes in the top like the Xray? it seems like we are constantly adjusting roll centers and such and it would be way easier to be able to screw out the ball end with a hex than having to pop off the cup each time i want to adjust it 1/2 a mm. I guess i could just buy the xray ball ends and cups, but I am sure you guys have a reason for the choice you made... would appreciate any thoughts. thanks so much.

Thanks a million Oleg, couldn't have wished for a better reply!.
Looks like the A700 DJ will fit, actually a DJ CVD which is a bit shorter compared to the one I posted.
The new A700 Evo looks awesome btw.
Will be hard to resist from buying one, and I don't even like running 1/10 EP!

Now we are preparing our own mold for such ball cups.
Right now you can follow to Mike's recommendation and use a body reamer or 2,5-3mm drill bit for holes in our current ball cups.
"Evo conversion kit" - this is FFG set in fact and all our distributors will have this set soon.

The only issue with this is you can't unscrew the ball without taking off the cup. Being able to tighten or unscrew them is very handy because things can get loose over time and also when adding/removing shims.
On another note: The evo kit isn't out yet so but I am sure when it is there will be a conversion kit on awesomatixusa.com.

I ran my A700EX in USVTA for the first time this past weekend. It was SO easy to drive. I used Karls setup mostly but with no sway bar in the back and a little more rear dampening and 1.5mm wheel spacers in the front. Other then that I didn't do much else to it. We ran 3 10 min mains and even with the motor at Max timing it only got maybe 94 deg. My lap times were maybe .1 slower at the end of the race. This car is just 2 damn efficient.
